I heavily agree. At the beginning, the game is a chore. You have to constantly loot, scavenge under trees, and find wells to stay alive. I had a friend already quit after an hour and refund because he starved/dehydrated 3 times in the hour. Happened to me too a few days ago now that I've returned after the beta update. Too many people complain it's too easy to survive, and I agree, but not because food is so common, but because one survival mechanic alone isn't going to make a survival game. We need a few hours before we begin to starve so we can properly try to fish, hunt, or scavenge farm fields or orchards. Starving before 20 minutes have gone by while looting a mostly empty town isn't fun. Now that I have a backpack full of food and supplies, It's not hard to scoop up water and boil it or take down an animal or chicken and cook. It's just tedious work.

Yeah not sure what's up either. Since the last time I've played I seem to be getting more fps drops as well. GPU: Hd 7950 CPU: i5 2310 Ram: 8gb I tend to get BIG frame drops when I zoom in with rmb.

DayZ is the first of its kind as far as I'm concerned. And right now few games captivate my interest. New hardware doesn't mean more fun and content. Right now it means more graphics to show at e3 with generic gameplay.

Seeing as a good chunk of time playing is spent running or looting how about an update or something after basic vehicles to make Chernarus feel lively and something of importance other than a bland country side place.I know these are going to be in at some time because its kind of a requirement in any game to have something in the background outside of player control to add immersion. I'd love to hear choppers fly over in formation heading to other areas outside Chernarus or find camps (in a VERY rare occurrence) in various formations around Chernarus sooner than later especially when vehicles become available increasing player travels or at least mine :P. Right now Chernarus is boooring granted it is in alpha.

Can't get into SA because of all the bugs and now no server with 5 or more people can stay up for more than 5 minutes. Also just looking to relax with some casual pvp. So anyone currently have a group for Overwatch or want to form one?

I actually ran Dayz/Arma II on Intel Hd 2000 graphics suprisingly well. Everything low of course except on arma II. I could run it on medium settings in idle environments.

True but you can't really overhype something that is already out. If he is just reworking the mod with better everything and more survival then nothing can really go wrong except melee. Seeing as that's going to be a big part of the game it better work and well. If it feels like the mod people are going to be dissappointed. Unless you're uninformed expecting to have vehicles and a load of guns from day one then you're over hyping.

Anti aliasing off I've always had it off because it makes a weird effect as if there is like a faded fish net over everything but you can see edges really easy and that means people walking or sitting in a forest. I can spot people further away than most.

Yeah I'd like to play with you guys whenever your on. I would probably be on later though because I've been playing Civ 5 with friends in the day.

It's really not that big of a deal. It's almost exactly the same if you have one person which is easy to acquire and many times self blood bagging takes longer anyways and may produce a higher chance of infection and or give less blood.

I just want to form or join a small group of players who have mics and have been playing or wanting to play the new dayz mods that have been released. I have a teamspeak server that is rented by a friend open for use. Of course i'm fine with joining another one and maybe another program except for skype. If you already have a small group of preferably 2 - 3 players then let me know or we can form one.

What would be worse? Having 50% of the community playing a good stable build happy till the rest of the community inevitably joins in or 95% playing a buggy build getting killed off to bugs in a perma death game? You want a good first impression. If everyone lags it'll turn a ton of people off. The only thing holding them off is the server-client architecture if I'm right.

Before I knew where all the refuel stations were I took a heli from Skallisty to Elektro on 2 or 3 jerries. But you can safely take a heli from Stary to Novy on one jerry.

I kill for two primary reasons. It's fun and entertaining. No negatives to killing someone unless you alert a friend or another enemy and not much else to do. I'm almost sure to get some loot. Depending on the mod I'm probably sure to get some loot whether it be bandages or weapons. I don't kill in "self defense" nor can I say too many people do. Many times your going to get fucked before you can react due to some sniper 750m away. For the people who do they probably just stick out of sight majority of the time or just keep an eye on someone until they act aggressive. I also don't kill fresh spawns often unless I'm in a tense situation where I can't babysit them.

In SA with the ability of everything I don't really think there should be any set or specific sniper rifle but rather weapons you modify to make a proficient long range weapon or sniper rifle by salvaging scopes from other weapons or just finding them in military bases. I do still think there should be some rifles with actual scopes but have those to be much rarer. ( And not "rare" like the as50 but rarer like satchels. ) Also taking a shot to the torso shouldn't necessarily kill you in one shot but unless you have a teammate by your side YOU SHOULD DIE. The shot should knock you on your ass while probably disarming you and blood should spill rapidly sending you into shock and unconsciousness. If you had full health then at some point you should be able to stop the bleeding after regaining consciousness but you wouldn't be able to run away immediately. You'd have to stumble a ways but really your going to be messed up for a while.
